Prepare pasta according to package directions.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth; cook whisking constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and half-and-half; cook, whisking constantly, 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup Gruyere cheese, and next three ingredients until smooth.

Stir together pasta and cheese mixture, and pour into 4 lightly greased 8-ounce baking dishes or 1 lightly greased 11X7 inch baking dish. (If using 8-ounce baking dishes, place them on a jelly-roll pan for easy baking, and proceed as directed.) Top with remaining 1 cup Gruyere cheese.

Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

To make ahead, proceed with recipe, but don't top with Gruyere Cheese. Cover and chill up to 8 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Bake at 350ºF for 20-25 minutes or until bubble. Increase oven temperature to 400ºF. Top pasta mixture with remaining Gruyere cheese and bake 10 more minutes until golden.
